Enkay!"
"Whoa whoa whoa, chill, what's the matter?"
"Who touched my phone?"
"N-not me.", Enkay said as he ran out of his room to the sitting room of his house. He had earlier been in his sister's room with her phone in an attempt to send a text to her best friend saying that they should meet at the nearby cafè and she will pay all the bills, and he successfully executed it perfectly.
He and his sister, Susie had started a prank war recently. They had been pranking each other in ways like filling sausages with toothpastes, putting carefully designed ropes in each other's pathways to look like a snake, and others that one would not even think up.
A sixteen years old boy, Enkay had slick black hair, a figure of five feet six and handsome facial features that could attract the average girl in his neighbourhood.
Susie was fifteen years old, and she usually treated her elder brother like her age mate, though she still respected him.
Their father had run away and left them alone because of their financial situation and were left with their mom who could work overtime to make sure she puts food on her children's table.
To the siblings, Bulma Simmons was a great mother to them.
The still went to school though, and they tried as much as possible not to dissapoint their mother.
Enkay's best friends were Alex and Peter.
Alex 's parents were doing well financially which made him to sometimes give something to his struggling friend.
Peter on the other hand had average parents and hardly lacked basic needs.
Sometimes, Enkay would sit at the corner of their crooked rented house and cry, wondering when their situation would change. It was really hard to comfort him at times like this.
Enkay had good athleticism and a good body physique despite the fact that people expected him to have something like kwashiorkor. Those people didn't know what manner of friends he had that would help him in most times of need.
Right now, Enkay was in the sitting room smiling about the recent prank when his eyes suddenly fell on his father's potrait. He started to remember a certain event event of ten years ago.
***********
"Mom, where's dad, I haven't seen him for the past two days."
"Oh En, your just a six year old little champion. Now go and play in your room."
"Enkay's rwight, where is daddy? Please mommy, tell us."
The siblings thought they saw tears flowing from their mother's eyes.
**********
It was when one thing led to the other that they discovered that their dad ran away.
Suddenly Enkay stood up and and kicked the nearby table causing his leg to hurt.
"I wonder why they keep this fucking picture! Argh, my leg. Why does this world hate me?!"
He pulled a good number of strands from his hair. Susie saw him and thought a little prank could make him feel better.
Enkay sat down to see if he could calm down. Suddenly, he heard a sound that sounded like he farted. When he looked back and saw Susie, she swore that she had never seen his face like that before. Then Susie saw an unexpected reaction from her big brother.
"Are you fucking mad?! What the fuck in hell do you take me for?! A shitty nigga?! Now get out of my sight you wimp!"
Of course, Enkay didn't mean that. It was frustration talking in him. Susie however thought that he meant it, at least for some time.
She ran to her room crying like crazy. Bulma wasn't in the house so there was no one to comfort her.
"Enkay, what did I do? Did you mean it? Am I really a wimp?"
She cried the more. It lasted for a total of almost one hour.
Enkay went outside to cool down. It was Saturday. He saw a bog of about five going to a concert with his dad. He say three kids that went with their dad to play golf. It made him cry. Was he the only person in this world without a dad? He doubted that. But he was wondering why he was one of the few without a dad.
After about ten minutes, Enkay returned to his usual cheerful mood and thought he could do one thing.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
"Get away from me you bully."
"Susie, look I'm sorry."
He started to hear sobs as the door handle clicked.
"Susie, I was very angry then. I'm sorry. I didn't mean all those. You are a special girl okay?"
For the first time in their teenager hood, Susie and Enkay hugged. Enkay's little soldier stood at attention a little bit as he had never hugged a girl in his teenager hood. He once hugged his sister when they were little after they found out that their father ran away.
Suddenly, the door to their house opened.
"Oh no, I forgot to lock the door.", Enkay said.
Both brother and sister rushed to the sitting room only to find a man with jeans...only that he wasn't a man.
"Zombie!" Susie screamed.
Enkay's instincts kicked in. He punched it in the face then kicked it where the sun never shines. Of course he knew that would literally do nothing to a zombie. So he formed both hands into a double axe handle and bashed the zombie 's head, crushing it in the process. Rotten blood spilled every where. Enkay rushed and threw the body outside his the window.
He was sustained by adrenaline and was currently suffering from exhaustion. He quickly went to the bathroom to wash his hands. He returned to the sitting room and saw his sister looking out the window.
"There's a zombie infestation Enkay. The world is in danger. I hope mom is okay."
Those were her last words as a baseball bat flew at the window, knocking her head in the process.
"SUSIE!!! Please don't do this to me. SUUUSSIIEEEE!!!!"
Enkay broke down and started to cry. He picked her up and her body flopped back to the ground. He couldn't believe that his one and only sister would die at this moment. What would Bulma say? That is if she was alive.
One thought was on Enkay's mind.
'Apocalypse...'
